ROYAL SOCIETY SIX CORD CORDICHET, Large Ball, Size 30, 3 balls of White or Ecru.
Steel Crochet Hook No. 10.

Oval Doily measures 11½ x 15½ inches; each Round Doily measures 8 inches in diameter.

OVAL DOILYFirst Motif … Starting at center, ch 10. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 4, 23 tr in ring. Join. 2nd rnd: Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, skip 2 tr, sc in next tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 3rd rnd: Sl st in next loop, ch 5, holding back on hook the last loop of each d tr make 6 d tr in same loop, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made), * ch 8, make a 7 d tr cluster in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join and break off.

SECOND MOTIF … Work as for First Motif until 2 rnds are completed. 3rd rnd: Sl st in next loop, ch 5, make a 6 d tr cluster in same loop, ch 4, sl st in any sp on First Motif, ch 4, cluster in next loop on Second Motif, ch 4, sl st in next sp on First Motif, ch 4, cluster in next loop on Second Motif. Complete rnd as for First Motif (no more joinings). Make another Motif, joining adjacent sides as Second Motif was joined to First Motif, leaving 2 loops free between joinings on previous motif.

   Now work around motifs as follows: 1st rnd: Attach thread to first free loop on Center Motif, ch 11, * d tr in next loop, ch 12, tr in next free loop, ch 6, in next loop make tr, ch 6 and tr; ch 6, (in next loop make tr, ch 6 and tr) twice; ch 6, in next loop make tr, ch 6 and tr; ch 6, tr in next loop, ch 12, d tr in next loop, ch 6. Repeat from * around. Join to 5th ch of ch-11. 2nd rnd: Ch 3, dc in each st around, increasing 6 dc evenly around each rounded end—to inc 1 dc, make 2 dc in 1 st. Join (192 dc). 3rd rnd: Sc in same place as sl st, (ch 6, skip 3 dc, sc in next dc) 7 times; (ch 6, skip 2 dc, sc in next dc) 16 times; (ch 6, skip 3 dc, sc in next dc) 12 times; (ch 6, skip 2 dc, sc in next dc) 16 times; (ch 6, skip 3 dc, sc in next dc) 4 times; ch 3, dc in first sc. 4th rnd: * Ch 6, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 1, d tr in tr. 5th rnd: Ch 3, 5 dc in loop formed by ch 1 and d tr, * ch 3, sc in next loop, (ch 6, sc in next loop) twice; ch 3, 6 dc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. 6th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 5 dc, * ch 6, skip next sp, (sc in next loop, ch 6) twice; dc in next 6 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 7th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 5 dc, * ch 3, sc in next loop, (ch 6, sc in next loop) twice; ch 3, dc in next 6 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 8th to 11th rnds incl: Repeat 6th and 7th rnds alternately. 12th rnd: Repeat 6th rnd. 13th rnd: Sl st in next 2 dc, sc between same dc as last sl st and next dc, * (ch 6, sc in next loop) 3 times; ch 6, sc between 3rd and 4th dc of dc-group. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3, dc in first sc. 14th rnd: Ch 9, tr in next loop, ch 5, tr in next loop, * ch 5, sc in 5th ch from hook (picot made), (ch 5, tr in next loop) 4 times. Repeat from * around. Join to 4th ch of ch-9. 15th rnd: * Ch 5, sl st in next tr, sl st in next 2 ch, 12 tr in picot, skip 3 ch, sl st in next 2 ch, sl st in next tr, ch 1, turn; sc in same tr, (ch 5, skip 2 tr, sc in next tr) 4 times; ch 5, skip 5 ch, sl st in next sl st, ch 6, turn; (7 d tr cluster in next loop, ch 6) 4 times; 2 d tr in sc, skip next sp, sl st in next tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 16th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same loop, * (ch 12, sc in next loop) 4 times; ch 3, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join and break off.

SMALL DOILY (Make 2) … Work as for Oval Doily until 3 rnds are completed. 4th rnd: Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 6, sc in next loop, ch 6, sc in tip of next cluster. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3, dc in first sc. 5th rnd: * Ch 6, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 1, d tr in dc. 6th rnd: Ch 3, 5 dc in loop formed by ch 1 and d tr, * ch 6, sc in next loop, ch 6, 6 dc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. 7th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 5 dc, * ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 6, sc in next loop, ch 3, dc in next 6 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 8th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 5 dc, * ch 6, skip next sp, sc in next loop, ch 6, dc in next 6 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 9th rnd: Repeat 7th rnd. 10th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 5 dc, * ch 6, skip next sp, in next loop make (sc, ch 6) twice; dc in next 6 dc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3, dc in top of ch-3. 11th rnd: * Ch 6, skip 3 dc, sc between 3rd and 4th dc of dc-group, (ch 6, sc in next loop) 3 times. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3, dc in dc. 12th, 13th and 14th rnds: Repeat 14th, 15th and 16th rnds of Oval Doily. Starch lightly and press.
